Judith Brisman, Ph.D., CEDS – “
When Actions Speak Louder than Words: A New Understanding
of the Psychodynamic Treatment of Eating Disorders

Dr. Brisman will discuss how the effective treatment of eating disorders often requires a mix of behavioral intervention within a psychoanalytic framework where the "disowned" part of the patient becomes known. A comprehensive definition of various eating disorders, risk factors, treatment issues, the role of the family and transferential/countertransferential considerations will be addressed.
Theresa Kinsella, M.S., RD., “
Healthy Choices or Disordered Eating: What to Know and How to Treat”
Ms. Kinsella
will describe the essential differences between disordered eating and healthy diet lifestyles, including the clinical strategies useful in responding to our "diet culture." The assessment and treatment of symptomatic eating behaviors, how to help clients develop a healthy relationship with food, and how to know when a referral to an eating disorder specialist is needed will be presented.
Following a buffet lunch, there will be three Clinical Presentations in the afternoon from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

CONTEMPLATIVE CLINICAL PRACTICE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Living into a New Way of Being
A Collaboration of Mercy by the Sea Retreat and Conference Center and Southern Connecticut State University Department of Social Work
As clinicians, in this time of uncertainty, might we be called to
journey a different path in our clinical work?
One that enables us to trust our inner knowing in service of our clients. A contemplative path is one that honors what we know yet often remains hidden from our daily discourse and experience. It is one that unleashes hope and creativity, essential for individual and collective growth. In its wisdom, is the heart of all emotional healing. It reminds us that who we are in relationship to each other, institutionally and in society, affirms the way we wish to live in the world.
We will explore together through archetypal stories, poetry, music, art, Eastern and Western wisdom traditions, sacred texts and the integration of contemplative practices and texts with clinical theories, how to develop and deepen our clinical practice and connect more deeply with ourselves, our clients and our life’s work.
This certificate program is offered over a four-month period from March to June, 2019, including two weekend retreats and two on-site contemplative consultation sessions at
Mercy by the Sea Retreat and Conference Center in Madison, CT
.
36 CEU credits are offered to Connecticut LCSWs and LMFTs and to New York LCSWs, LMFTs, CAs, LMHCs, Creative Arts Therapists, and Nurses.
